65 George Street, Edinburgh

65 George Street in Edinburgh is a 5-storey and attic auction house designed by J N Scott and A Lorne Campbell between 1907 and 1908. The building is constructed of pale pink polished Dumfriesshire sandstone ashlar. It features ashlar mullions and transoms on all floors except the ground and fourth. The ground floor has a door to the right and two plate glass windows with roll-moulded reveals, flanked by carved ornaments suspended from ribbons, topped with a mutuled cornice. The first floor is adorned with slender pilasters and a dentilled cornice framing the windows. Angle pilaster strips rise from the second floor to the eaves cornice, with windows set between chamfered piers. The fourth floor has bipartite windows with bracketed lintels, and gilded fleur-de-lys anchor plates are positioned between the third and fourth floors. The building is topped with a mutuled eaves cornice supported by four brackets and features a 6-light timber box-dormer with a dentilled cornice. The side elevations are constructed of rubble.

At the rear, there is a projecting 6-storey stair tower. To the east, behind No 63 George Street, is a 4-storey block with three to five bays, which includes garaging on the ground floor and a tripartite window above, with cill courses on the upper floors. The upper floor windows have casements and small panes in the upper lights, and the mansard roof is finished with ashlar coped skews and scrolled skewputts, covered in grey slates.

Inside, there is a panelled entrance hall and corridor, with showrooms on each floor. The ground floor features a top-lit Alexander Room located at the rear, behind No 63 George Street.
